I asked an AI:

when was thr last time a Republican president completed a 4 year term without a catastrophic event happening

Calvin Coolidge (1923–1929)

Calvin Coolidge, a Republican, completed a full four-year term from August 1923 to March 1929 after succeeding Warren G. Harding, followed by winning election in 1924 for a nearly full second term.[1][2] His presidency occurred during the Roaring Twenties, marked by economic prosperity rather than immediate catastrophe, though the Great Mississippi Flood in 1927 prompted limited federal response.[3][4] Scandals from the prior administration lingered but did not erupt into a defining crisis under Coolidge, who distanced himself effectively.[5]

No Republican president since Coolidge has completed a full four-year term without a major event widely viewed as catastrophic. Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953–1961) managed two terms amid Cold War tensions like the U-2 incident, Suez Crisis, and civil rights struggles, but these defined his era as turbulent.[6][7] William Howard Taft (1909–1913) finished one term but alienated progressives, leading to party splits without a singular disaster.[8]

Earlier examples like Chester A. Arthur (1881–1885) involved party defeats and reform pushes post-assassination, not uneventful stability.[9] Defining “catastrophic” as economic collapse, war, scandal, or disaster, Coolidge stands as the last with relative calm before the 1929 crash under Hoover.[10][3]

Star Trek Voyager. I don’t think I need to explain further, we all have the same ideas.

Looks like the upcoming game will do the fixing though, so that’s good.

Probably because they’ve yet to see a right-wing government complete a 4 year term without a calamity occurring.

I’m 100% serious.

Hopefully this prompts them to fix the music issues with streaming the old series

I liked Darth Jason. He was the best part of the show.

It’s supposed to be an anthology series so they’ll probably do one game a season

How so?

Germany knows a continental army is going to happen and don’t want the French to be running the show all on their own.

Very much in the so bad it’s good category

What are the chances this is Hollywood accounting shenanigans

This guy wasn’t nailed on the CSAM game alone. The game is an indicator that he’s a person who is going to be consuming other CSAM.

I’m going to make the, possibly incorrect, assumption that it’s more drawings of CSAM. If I’m wrong though then he should obviously be locked away.

That’s not to say drawings of CSAM aren’t disgusting or should be allowed online, absolutely no website should be hosting that stuff.

But this case didn’t occur in the US and the prioritization of which CSAM to remove first shouldn’t be a discussion, but rather it should be the allocation of more resources.

You can say ‘more resources needed’, but in austerity brained Europe, and tax averse US that’s not going to happen.

In a world where authorities are letting 5 years year olds being tortured slide to protect the infants being tortured. There is a pretty clear hierarchy of priorities there.

My concern is that going after this person engaging in CSAM of drawings was easy, and going after the ones engaging with real children was difficult due to encrypted distribution channels. We’re letting the big fish rub rampant and focusing on the smaller easier to catch fish.

I’m not arguing against banning the hentai from websites or stores or whatever.

Police resources are limited. CSAM is rampant online. How many abused children have been made to wait for rescue while cops and the court were busy going after the guy who looks at cartoons?

I listened to the Daily podcast back in 2019 where Michael Babaro said there is so much CSAM online that the authorities had to prioritize infants 1 and under. So imagine my surprise to see resources and time spent going after drawings.

There is no shortage of real CSAM creators to go after. Shouldn’t we prioritize going after those people ahead of drawings of cartoon characters?

Some of the best shows ever you could say the same thing about their first seasons.

Yeah it’s more cringe than I think you should leave imo

My TCL Roku was great, but updates made it work very poorly the last few years. Has gotten better recently though.

What I would do if I had 300 bucks to burn is buy an NVIDIA Shield to plug into the HDMI and basically turn the Roku into a monitor with the software being on the Shield. I’m told you can install the apps that let you watch YouTube without ads on it too.

I struggle with cringe humour but want to like this show

Baywatch, especially when you take into account Baywatch: Nights where Hasslehoff works as a private eye and solves x-files.

Say you’ll prosecute anyone who gives an illegal order and then maybe people will think you’re mire than a fair-weather friend

Careful with those barbituates
